What Did I Do Wrong -Sad Contest
I wander the streets looking for scraps
Haven't been fed for a month or more
My bones show through, too weak to walk
What did I do wrong what was the score
People tried to catch me in the earlier days
Didn't trust anyone after the beatings I had known
Thrown from a car, to make my own way
Said I was too expensive for them too own
As I lay under a bench in the park
Heard someone approach, too weak to hide
Next gentle hands lifted me up into a van
Wrapped in blankets kept warm inside
Took me to the animal hospital where people cried
When they saw my bones and my weak state
Put me on a drip to feed me slowly, instead
of giving me a meal which would have sealed my fate
Am a big dog now healthy, happy and fun
Going to a new home, with a lovely new mum
2 children to play with, a boss for walks
Life from now on will be great, with a full tum.
